Looks good, but the SV surely doesn't need such a huge tyre.

It dosen't have the power to demand it, and it will just slow the turning down.

IMO

It absolutely does not need it, no. But the reduction in turning speed shouldn't be massive, and it does look good, so why not? By most accounts, the simple geometry changes can outweigh the slowing of turn- I know my bike will turn faster than I could ever want it to.
